I'm new to Illustrator, learning a little every day. There's one thing I need to know right away though. There must be an easy way, in Illustrator, to warp text with perspective. I want it to appear as if the beginning of the text is closer and the end is further away.

I can do this with the "free distort" tool. But I can't apply that as a graphical style.
